A salon that hangs together
You look differently in a furnished room than in an empty exhibition hall. Notice the relationship between paintings, ceiling and furniture, and the way the collection together forms a room.
Porcelain alongside painting
Ming, Imari, Famille rose and Delft Blue are mentioned in the description of the collection. The different types each need their own explanation; appearance alone does not tell you everything about origin or technique.
The studio too
Painter’s equipment provides a concrete link to the making. Look at how it is presented in the room and what relationship with the paintings on display is explained.
Before you go
Only the ground floor is accessible to visitors who cannot use stairs. Check public holidays and book group guided tours separately.
